What Our Clients Say
"The Brooklands team has worked closely with us for many years on a wide range of important issues, ranging from integration to cost management and commercial projects. Most recently they have helped us with several major strategic organisation design projects that have had significant impact on the shape and dynamics of the business. They work very closely with our people, and bring an innovative, hands-on, challenging and refreshing yet mature perspective to the issues at hand. Most importantly they are very commercial in their thinking, being totally results driven with the realities of the business world evident in the outcome of their work. We would have no hesitation in recommending them." Chris Kenward, Finance Director
"We appreciated the critical input given to various projects - the most important were dealing with the integration of a series of major acquisitions. The success was vital to the Group in terms of shareholder value. The measure was an eventual tripling of market capitalization. They played a major role in facilitating the integration process across a wide group of employees." Alan Peterson, CEO
"I have known these people for around ten years, during which time they have been professional, credible and candid. They are one hundred percent results orientated and do not give up until they achieve the desired result. The have worked with us on a major cost reduction exercise for the past two years, achieving excellent results." Bo Severed, President and CEO
"This innovative (Service Leadership) programme sent a massive ripple around the industry, because it showed that we're really clear on what we're doing. We have used these people on many occasions and have always found them to be very pragmatic - they work well within the culture of our organization, providing excellent facilitation in the change management process. I have no hesitation in recommending them to other businesses." Peter Hindle MBE, General Delegate, UK, Ireland & South Africa "They led a management development and appraisal process that was at the heart of our strategy for improving vision, leadership and effectiveness of our senior management team. Their input was totally professional and very effective and their creative style was appreciated by the directors and the participants." Paul Withers, Business Development Director
"I am truly appreciative of the valuable contribution made in our innovation strategy project, not only in the planning and analysis phase but specially for the outstanding commitment in supporting us during the implementation period. Their contribution was professional and highly personable. The end result was the success that we all desired." Willem van Meurs, Managing Director
"Brooklands provides our business with a valuable mixture of innovation, pragmatism and professionalism. Their wealth of experience brings a practical approach to their recommendations and solutions and their ability to work closely with line managers ensures changes stay and succeed in the business long after they have moved from the project." Paul Daynes, Human Resources Director
"The Brooklands team arrived at Seawheel at what was a most difficult trading period, with many issues outstanding from previous management and ownership. The ability of the team to quickly identify problem areas and then set about putting them right made a significant difference to the business - and, whilst there are still problems to be tackled, we are now reaping the benefits of initiatives that were put in place. Brooklands strength comes from its team's ability to identify problems and bring in specialists with the knowledge to hit the ground running and come up with creative solutions to the main problem areas of a business" Alan Jones, Managing Director
“We were focussed on the manning and running of our ships. Brooklands worked with us in a practical & pragmatic manner to look at our approach for managing and controlling our ‘daily running costs’. Using a structured approach they challenged out thinking, provided new perspectives and supported the implementation of improvement projects. They assisted us in the processes of lean thinking and how to hone our operations - bringing costs under control and at the same time reducing them. We are definitely in much better shape through their involvement.” Kenneth MacLeod, Managing Director
"These consultants have been integral members of our post acquisition programmes in recent years. They get 'under the skin' of the organisation, and can couple the 'hard' drivers of change, such as targeted financial analysis, with the 'soft' drivers, such as behaviour change and innovation, to achieve the desired result. I would engage them on any major integration programme." Lindsay Poston, Chief Operating Officer |
